An Irish man has revealed that he believes his father was paid by Marist brothers who abused him sexually.

Paul Gordon testified on January 18 in a sentencing hearing for Martin Meaney, a former Marist brother who has admitted molesting Gordon in the 1970s, when the Irish man was a student at St. John's National school in Sligo. Gordon told the court that he thought another Marist had paid off his father to allow the abuse to continue.

In 1984, Paul Gordon was sentenced to an 8-year prison term for manslaughter after killing his father.
